Cam, when I read half you post, I was thinking "Typical Cruel Bastard" - kids who like to go aout and shoot stuff for the 'fun' etc, but Im glad you then went on to say what you did. Fortunately , Ive never had that (what I call perverse) nature......
I eat meat, but I think if I was more aware when I was little about what actually was going on Id be a vegetarian now, but I like meat too much now and not many varieties of veg. If I had to do it myself though (sort an animal out), well, I couldnt and therefore would be a vegetarian or Fruitarian! lol.
When youre growing up, the majority of us just whip out a few chops from a polystyrene tray with sellophane o the top, that was it, no more thought than that, just two chops in a tray and on yer plate. Then youre hooked. Id probably feed my kids (if I have any) veg only until they are able to decide for themselves and choose to eat animals.
Sirius.
